PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The past few months have been an unsettling time for bond investors. The
bond market declined after the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term
interest rates from February through May. These rate hikes caused bond
yields to rise and bond prices to fall. While nobody knows whether rates
will continue to go up, this may be a good time to review the effect rising
rates have on your bond fund investment, and consider how well your current
bond fund holdings match your original investment goals.
Most investors choose bond funds to generate income and to help diversify
their investment portfolios. Despite the recent market downturn, bond
mutual funds still satisfy these needs. Where investors have felt the
negative effect of rising rates is in the market value of their investment,
which has eroded as bond prices have fallen. It's important to remember,
however, that this loss in principal is only "on paper" until you choose to
sell your shares. That's why your investing time horizon is key.
If your time horizon is short - one year or less - you may want to consider
shifting all or part of your bond fund investment into a money market fund.
If you can't keep your investment in the bond fund until yields start
falling again and bond prices rise, you increase your risk of not recouping
the full value of the shares. A money market fund provides a stable $1
share price and a yield that becomes more attractive as rates go up.
If you don't need your money within the next year, staying in your bond
fund may be the appropriate strategy for you. The longer your investing
time frame, the better your chances of retaining your principal investment
through periods of rising AND falling rates. For example, if you plan to
use your money in one to two years, a short-term bond fund may be the right
choice. If your time frame is two to four years, a fund with an
intermediate length average maturity may be best. If you have a longer-term
goal - say a child's college education that's ten years away - you may be
willing to ride out the bond market's peaks and valleys in exchange for the
higher potential returns of a longer-term fund.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account
Builder.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (or income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells bonds that have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's
income to measure performance.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1994 PAST 1 PAST 5 PAST 10
YEAR YEARS YEARS
Intermediate Bond 2.93% 54.09% 168.73%
Lehman Brothers Intermediate
Government-Corporate Bond Index 1.01% 55.27% 166.82%
Average Intermediate Investment
Grade Bond Fund 0.60% 53.40% 169.61%
Consumer Price Index 2.36% 19.74% 42.97%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or ten years. For
example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the
past year, you would end up with $1,050. You can compare these figures to
the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government-Corporate Bond Index - a broad
measure of the performance of intermediate (one- to ten-year) bonds. To
measure how the fund stacked up against its peers, you can also look at the
average intermediate investment grade bond fund, which reflects the
performance of 123 funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
Comparing the fund's performance to the Consumer Price Index helps show how
your fund did compared to inflation.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Intermediate Bond
Fund on April 30, 1984. As the chart shows, by April 30, 1994, the value of
your investment would have grown to $26,873 - a 168.73% increase on your
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers
Intermediate Government-Corporate Bond Index did over the same period. With
dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to
$26,682 - a 166.82% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund
that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your
shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

by the fund. A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by
the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Michael Gray, Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund
MARKET RECAP
Generally, falling interest rates
pushed up U.S. bond prices from
May through mid-October 1993,
when the yield on the benchmark
30-year Treasury bond reached a
historic low of 5.79%. Yields then
moved within a narrow range until
early February 1994, when the
Federal Reserve Board raised
the federal funds rate - the rate
banks charge each other for
overnight loans - from 3.00% to
3.25%. That rate hike - and two
more in March and April - ignited
heavy selling in the U.S. bond
market through the end of the
period, as investors feared a
stronger economy might lead to
higher inflation. As yields rose
sharply - the 30-year Treasury
was yielding 7.30% by April 30 -
prices fell. For the 12 months
ended April 30, the Lehman
Brothers long-term Treasury
index had a total return (yield plus
price change) of 1.42%. A
broader measure of the U.S.
bond market, the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index,
returned 0.85% during the period.
The negative effects of rising
interest rates on high-yield bonds
were somewhat offset by
improvements in their credit
quality due to the improving
economy. The Salomon Brothers
Composite High Yield Index rose
6.16%. Worldwide, the falling
U.S. bond market helped trigger
corrections - some severe - in
most foreign markets. The J.P.
Morgan Emerging Market Bond
Index dropped more than 18%
from January through April 1994,
but finished up 6.87% for the 12
months ended April 30.
Q. MICHAEL, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. On a relative basis, the fund performed very well. The fund had a total
return of 2.93% for the 12 months ended April 30, 1994. That beat the 0.60%
total return for the average intermediate investment grade bond fund
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services for the same period. It also placed
the fund in the top 5% of all intermediate investment grade funds ranked by
Lipper.
Q. WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE FUND'S ABOVE-AVERAGE PERFORMANCE OVER THE PAST
YEAR?
A. The performance has to be broken into two periods. The first six months
of the year, from April 30, 1993, through the beginning of October, were
much better than the second six months. During the first half of the year
the market rallied very dramatically and the fund was well-positioned to
take advantage of that. The market reached its peak on October 15 when the
30-year Treasury bond's yield bottomed at 5.79%. Since then, we've
basically been in a down market.
Q. WHAT SPECIFIC THINGS DID YOU DO TO ACHIEVE THE GOOD RELATIVE
PERFORMANCE?
A. Two main things. Number one, I think I did a pretty good job of managing
the fund's duration - its sensitivity to interest rate changes - during
this period. I had the duration relatively long, well over four years,
going into October. Interest rates had fallen substantially. With a longer
duration, a fund's share price will appreciate rapidly in a declining
interest rate environment. So this worked extremely well during the first
half of the year. In a rising interest rate environment, a long duration
works just the opposite, causing a fund's share price to deteriorate
quickly. I started shortening the duration in October, prior to the first
down leg in the market. This enabled the fund to beat the market in the
fourth quarter of 1993. I made a mistake in January. The market sort of
gave a head fake. It looked like it was going to rally, so I lengthened
duration to take advantage of the rise. Then on February 4, the Federal
Reserve raised the federal funds rate - the interest rate on overnight
interbank loans - by a quarter percentage point. That hurt, but I quickly
recognized the mistake and shortened duration dramatically. By the end of
March, I had duration shortened to 3.14 years, which helped in April, as
the market continued to fall.
Q. WHAT ELSE DID YOU DO?
A. I stopped buying corporate bonds during August of last year. They had
become too expensive relative to Treasuries. And because of the fund's
higher quality charter, our weighting in emerging market debt was quite
small. I made limited commitments in Mexico which performed exceptionally
well in 1993, but in February and March of 1994 they were torpedoed along
with all other bonds.
Q. WHAT WERE THE BIGGEST FACTORS BEHIND THE SELL-OFF IN FIXED-INCOME
MARKETS WORLDWIDE?
A. To begin with, the market was surprised by the first Fed tightening on
February 4. Many expected that the Fed would begin to raise rates sometime
in 1994, given the strengthening economy, but few thought it would be that
soon. Consequently, it sent bonds into a tailspin. Simultaneously, a lot of
highly leveraged investments - that is, made with borrowed money - began to
unwind. Many investors had been playing the steep yield curve - the wide
spread between short- and long-term interest rates. Wall Street dealers,
hedge funds - aggressively managed private partnerships - and other
investors were buying long-term securities and financing their purchases at
much lower short-term rates. This was a great strategy while rates were
declining. But when the Fed began tightening, these investors realized that
rates weren't going to go down anymore. All bets were off and they started
selling. This flooded the market with securities that, in a bearish
environment, no investor wanted to own. One final factor was worldwide
political uncertainty.
Q. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK LATELY ABOUT DERIVATIVES. DO YOU USE THEM IN
THE FUND?
A. The fund has the flexibility to use derivative instruments. Currently,
there are two kinds in the fund. The first is a short position in Treasury
Bond futures contracts. These are owned to hedge the fund's Treasury bonds.
They help reduce the volatility of the fund to changes in interest rates.
The second is currency forward contracts. Again, these are used to hedge
the fund's non-dollar bonds against movements in currency exchange rates.
They allow the fund to have exposure to foreign bond markets without taking
on currency risk for the portion which is hedged.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK GOING FORWARD?
A. You might call it a "bunker mentality." We're taking shelter until the
market stabilizes. I have the fund positioned defensively, with a short
duration relative to its benchmark. I'm also letting the cash level build
up. This is the first bearish market we've had in several years and the
challenge is to determine when it's safe to re-enter the market and resume
buying. I can't see getting bullish until the Fed stops tightening, and I
don't think it's done yet.

MICHAEL GRAY ON MANAGING
BONDS IN A BEARISH MARKET:
"The primary goal in a bearish
environment is to try to
preserve the shareholder's
value as much as possible.
This means shifting from an
offensive strategy of buying
aggressively and lengthening
duration in a rising market to a
defensive posture of
shortening duration, moving
out of the market and
increasing the cash portion of
the portfolio. By shortening
duration, I reduce the interest
rate risk in the fund, or the risk
of sustained share price
deterioration should rates
continue to rise. I raise cash
for two reasons. Number one
is it gives the fund a cushion
to mitigate losses when
interest rates are rising and
bond prices are falling.
Second, a cash reserve
allows me to selectively buy
bonds at attractive prices,
once prices have fallen and
the market has stabilized."
DISTRIBUTIONS
The Board of Trustees of
Fidelity Intermediate Bond
Fund voted to pay on June 6,
1994, to shareholders of
record at the opening of
business on June 3, 1994, a
distribution of $.09 derived
from capital gains realized
from sales of portfolio
securities.
32% of the dividends
distributed during the fiscal
year was derived from
interest on U.S. Government
securities generally exempt
from state income tax.
The fund will notify
shareholders in January 1995
of the applicable percentage

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 1994
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Commonwealth Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days are valued either at amortized cost or original
cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations
are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in
good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general
supervision of the Board of Trustees.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the current exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities,
income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at
the exchange rate on the dates of the transactions.
It is not practicable to identify the portion of each amount shown in the
fund's Statement of Operations under the caption "Realized and Unrealized
Gain (Loss) on Investments" that arises from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. Investment income includes net realized and unrealized
currency gains and losses recognized between accrual and payment dates.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and paid
monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if
any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
paydown gains/losses on certain securities, futures and
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
options transactions, foreign currency transactions, market discount and
losses deferred due to wash sales and futures and options. The fund also
utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of
shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income may include temporary book and tax
basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable
income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following
year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective May 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of April 30, 1993 have been reclassified to reflect
an increase in paid in capital of $2,394,000, an increase in distributions
in excess of net investment income of $3,556,000 and an increase in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $1,162,000.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund may enter into forward foreign
currency contracts. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the
amount reflected in the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
face or contract amount in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the
fund has in that particular currency contract. The U.S. dollar value of
forward foreign currency contracts is determined using forward currency
exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. Losses may arise due to
changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and presented net on the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities. Gain (loss) on the purchase or sale of forward
foreign currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker is
recognized on the date of offset, otherwise gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - CONTINUED
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The fund's investment
adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), is responsible
for determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at
least equal to the resale price.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other
registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may
transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are
collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having
management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending
program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the
fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may invest in futures contracts and
write options. These investments involve to varying degrees, elements of
market risk and risks in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts reflect the extent
of the involvement the fund has in the particular classes of instruments.
Risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the
price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities and
interest rates. Risks also may arise if there is an illiquid secondary
market for the instruments, or due to the inability of counterparties to
perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in privately placed
restricted securities. These securities may be resold in transactions
exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and
expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the
end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted
to $10,658,000 or 0.6% of net assets.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,412,025,000 and $1,249,927,000, respectively, of which U.S.
government
PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED
and government agency obligations aggregated $1,255,217,000 and
$1,126,877,000, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed amounted to
$699,368,000 and $377,976,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates ranging from
.15% to .37% and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the
mutual funds advised by FMR. The annual individual fund fee rate is .15%.
For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .31%
of average net assets.
The Board of Trustees approved a new group fee rate schedule with rates
ranging from .1325% to .3700%. Effective November 1, 1993, FMR has
voluntarily agreed to implement this new group fee rate schedule as it
results in the same or a lower management fee.
TRANSFER AGENT FEE. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the
fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC
receives fees based on the type, size, number of accounts and the number of
transactions made by shareholders. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and
mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting
records and administers the security lending program. The security lending
fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The
accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month
plus out-of-pocket expenses.
5. INTERFUND LENDING
PROGRAM.
The fund participated in the interfund lending program as a lender. The
maximum loan and the average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $52,011,000 and $48,347,000,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 3.38%. Interest earned
from the interfund lending program amounted to $32,000 and is included in
interest income on the Statement of Operations.
6. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund loaned securities to certain brokers who paid the fund negotiated
lenders' fees. These fees are included in interest income. The fund
receives U.S. Treasury obligations and/or cash as collateral against the
loaned securities, in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value
of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. This collateral
must be maintained at not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned
securities during the period of the loan. At period end, there were no
loans outstanding.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund:

financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended.
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility
of the fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our procedures included confir- mation of
securities owned as of April 30, 1994 by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust: Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund as of April
30, 1994, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The first few months of 1994 were an unsettling time for many investors.
After three years of a nearly perfect environment for stock market
investing, stock prices fell in March and April. Investors disagree about
whether this decline represents only a short-term correction or signals the
beginning of a longer bear market. One can collect statistics to support
either opinion, but of course, nobody knows for sure what will happen to
stock prices in the months ahead.
We do know, however, that market declines are a normal part of stock market
investing. We have historically seen corrections of 10% or more every two
years. That's why I thought this might be a good time to review three basic
investment principles that have proven helpful to successful stock market
investors in every market cycle.
First, take a long-term approach when investing in stocks and stock funds.
If you can afford to leave your money invested through the market's
inevitable ups and downs, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any
single decline. Over time, stock prices have gone up - and have
significantly outperformed other types of investments and stayed ahead of
inflation.
Second, you can further manage risk by diversifying your investments. A
stock mutual fund is already diversified, because it invests in many
different companies. You can increase your diversification by investing in
a number of different stock funds, or in different investment categories,
such as bonds. You should also keep money you'll need in the near future in
a more stable investment.
Finally, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing
a set amount of money at the same time each month or quarter. That way, you
can avoid getting caught up in the excitement of a rapidly-rising market -
and won't end up buying all your shares at market highs. This strategy
won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, but
it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. For this to be
effective, you must continue to buy shares in both up and down markets.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account
Builder.
We look forward to hearing from you.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage of change in value, the average annual
percentage change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each
performance figure includes changes in a fund's share price, plus
reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and capital gains (the profits
the fund earns when it sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1994 PAST 1 LIFE OF
YEAR FUND
Market Index 4.95% 50.80%
S&P 500(Registered trademark) 5.32% 51.65%
Average S&P 500 Index Fund 4.68% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, or since the fund began on
March 6, 1990. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, you would end up with $1,050. You can compare
the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500
Composite Stock Price Index - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. You
can also compare them to the average S&P 500 index fund, which reflects
the performance of 40 funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any, and exclude the effects of sales charges.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity
Market Index Fund on March 6, 1990, when the fund started. As the chart
shows, by April 30, 1994, the value of your investment would have grown to
$15,080 - a 50.80% increase on your initial investment. For comparison,
look at how the S&P 500 did over the same period. With dividends
reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $15,165 - a
51.65% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In
turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in
stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Jennifer Farrelly, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Market Index Fund
Q. JENNIFER, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The fund had a total return of 4.95% for the 12 months ended April 30,
1994. That's slightly below the benchmark against which it's measured, the
S&P 500 index, which was up 5.32% for the year. Since the fund attempts
to mirror the index, the slight difference in these returns can be
attributed to management expenses. The fund did, however, beat the average
S&P 500 index fund tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, which
returned 4.68% during the same period.
Q. STOCKS TOOK QUITE A FALL FROM
FEBRUARY THROUGH APRIL 1994. WHAT HAPPENED?
A. It's hard to say whether the market downturn was simply a short-term
correction or the beginning of a longer bear market. The sell-off was, in
part, triggered by higher interest rates. On February 4, the Federal
Reserve Board raised the federal funds rate - the rate banks charge each
other for overnight loans - from 3.00% to 3.25%. It marked the first time
in five years the Fed raised short-term rates, and it changed stock market
psychology dramatically. By April 30, the fed funds rate had risen to
3.75%, and yields on bonds with longer maturities had risen even faster.
Rising interest rates often make safer investments like money market funds
appear increasingly attractive relative to stocks. And that can make for a
skittish stock market.
Q. PLUS, THE MARKET WAS EXPENSIVE BY MANY ACCOUNTS . . .
A. That's true. By the end of January, stock valuations - prices compared
to other measures such as earnings and dividend yields - were very high by
historic standards. That may have helped create an atmosphere in which
investors were looking for any reason, no matter how small, to sell.
Q. LOOKING BACK ON THE PAST YEAR, WHICH SECTORS LED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. Since the fund seeks to match the S&P 500 index, the same sectors
helped both. Broadly speaking, cyclical stocks - those that tend to rise
and fall with the economy - were among the fund's best performers over the
past year. These stocks benefited from the improving U.S. economy, and they
cut across several sectors.
Q. CAN YOU GIVE US SOME EXAMPLES?
A. Although they were only about 5% of the fund on April 30, consumer
durables had the best return of any sector. The Big Three auto makers -
Chrysler, Ford and General Motors - made up most of this group. Together,
they returned more than 21% over the past year. Other stocks that benefited
from the strengthening economy included those in the industrial machinery
and equipment sector - nearly 6% of the fund. Many of these companies
effectively cut costs while experiencing a surge in orders. Clark Equipment
- - - up more than 140% - was the S&P 500's second-best performer.
Q. WERE THERE ANY OTHER SECTORS THAT PROVIDED ATTRACTIVE RETURNS?
A. I would add technology, which made up more than 7% of the fund at the
end of April, and basic industries, nearly 8% of the fund, to the list of
winners. On the technology side, the boom in personal computers fueled
strong returns for the stocks of computer manufacturers and companies
specializing in computer networking, semiconductors and software. As for
basic industries, gold and precious metals stocks - which benefited from an
increased demand worldwide - led the way, though performance slowed
recently.
Q. WHICH SECTORS WERE THE MARKET LAGGARDS?
A. By far the most disappointing sector was utilities, which made up nearly
14% of the fund at the end of the period. When interest rates were falling
through 1992 and part of 1993, utility stocks were attractive to investors
because they paid dividends that were higher than the average S&P 500
stock and the average yield on a one-year certificate of deposit. However,
when the economy picked up and interest rates started to rise, utility
dividend yields didn't rise as quickly as bond yields. That made many
utility stocks less attractive than many other dividend-paying investments.
Q. WERE THERE OTHER POOR PERFORMERS?
A. Consumer nondurables - which include food, beverage and tobacco
companies - and most health-care stocks continued to trail the overall
market. With inflation remaining low, many of the larger consumer
nondurable companies lost the ability to raise prices, which hurt earnings.
Q. WHAT ABOUT HEALTH CARE?
A. The health-care group had a split personality. Uncertainty over
health-care reform hurt the performance of many of these stocks; investors
worried about the ability of some health-care companies to raise prices
going forward. For example, drug stocks fell nearly 12% for the year and
hospital supply companies were down about 8%. However, investors felt
hospital management companies, which purchase these supplies, would benefit
from lower prices. So while the health-care sector as a whole finished
about -4% for the year, hospital management companies were the S&P
500's top performing industry, up more than 70%.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. The volatility of S&P 500 stocks was unusually low in 1993. As many
investors are keenly aware, volatility has picked up in 1994, and I expect
that could continue. I believe the movement of interest rates in the months
ahead may play an important role in the stock market's performance. If
rates continue rising at their pace of the past three months, the market
may be in for a rough ride. However, stock prices eventually tend to follow
company earnings, which have improved due to cost cutting and the improving
economy. So if rates level out, and earnings drive the market, the stocks
of those companies showing the best earnings improvement could do well. But
regardless of what happens in the next six or 12 months, a long-term view
of stock investing always helps ride out the peaks and valleys.

JENNIFER FARRELLY ON TRACKING
THE S&P 500 INDEX:
"To track the index exactly, the
fund must always keep a 100%
exposure to the S&P 500
stocks. Any cash in the fund
could cause tracking error. Yet,
the fund needs cash for
liquidity - to pay investors
who redeem their shares. The
solution rests in keeping
roughly 95% of the fund
invested in the S&P
stocks, and the other 5% in
cash that's hedged with
S&P 500 futures
contracts. The performance of
the futures contracts moves in
step with the index, allowing
the entire fund to mirror the
moves of the index. So the
futures allow the fund to remain
fully invested, while providing a
cash reserve for liquidity."
DISTRIBUTIONS
1.7% of the dividends
distributed during the fiscal
year was derived from
interest on U.S. Government
securities generally exempt
from state income tax.
The fund will notify
shareholders in January 1995
of the applicable percentage
for calendar year 1994 for use
in preparing 1994 income tax
returns.

For the period ended April 30, 1994
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Market Index Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Commonwealth
Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares.
The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange), are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at
their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities maturing within sixty days are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the current exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities,
income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at
the exchange rate on the dates of the transactions.
It is not practical to identify the portion of each amount shown in the
fund's Statement of Operations under the caption "Realized and Unrealized
Gain (Loss) on Investments" that arises from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. Investment income includes net realized and unrealized
currency gains and losses recognized between accrual and payment dates.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend and
interest income is recorded net of foreign taxes where recovery of such
taxes is not assured.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the ex-
dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
non-
taxable dividends. The fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed
to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid
deduction for income tax purposes.
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the fund less than 180 days are subject to
a redemption fee equal to .50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. A
portion of the fee is accounted for as a reduction of transfer agent
expenses. This portion of the redemption fee is used to offset the
transaction costs and other expenses that short-term trading imposes on the
fund and its shareholders. The remainder of the redemption fee is accounted
for as an addition to paid in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective May 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of April 30, 1993 have been reclassified to reflect
an increase in paid in capital of $215,696, an increase in undistributed
net investment income of $21,003 and a decrease in accumulated net realized
gain on investments of $236,699.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The fund's investment
adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), is responsible
for determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at
least equal to the resale price.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other
registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may
transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are
collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may invest in futures contracts and
write options. These investments involve to varying degrees, elements of
market
2. OPERATING POLICIES -

FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS - CONTINUED
risk and risks in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts reflect the extent of
the involvement the fund has in the particular classes of instruments.
Risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the
price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities and
interest rates. Risks also may arise if there is an illiquid secondary
market for the instruments, or due to the inability of counterparties to
perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $7,449,481 and $36,793,476, respectively, of which U.S.
government and government agency obligations aggregated $0 and $2,090,781,
respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed amounted to
$60,771,705 and $63,894,785, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) pays all expenses except the compensation of the
non-interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. FMR receives a fee that
is computed daily at an annual rate of
.45% of the fund's average net assets.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund loaned securities to certain brokers who paid the fund negotiated
lenders' fees. These fees are included in interest income. The fund
receives U.S. Treasury obligations and/or cash as collateral against the
loaned securities, in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value
of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. This collateral
must be maintained at not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned
securities during the period of the loan. At period end, there were no
loans outstanding.
6. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, the fund must pledge to the bank securities having a market
value in excess of 220% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on
the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to

time. The maximum loan and the average daily loan balances during the
periods for which loans were outstanding amounted to $1,325,000 and
$1,197,800, respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 3.768%.
Interest expense includes $627 paid under the bank borrowing program.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Market Index Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Fidelity Commonwealth Trust: Fidelity Market Index Fund, including the
schedule of portfolio investments, as of April 30, 1994 and the related
statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes
in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the
financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended
and for the period March 6, 1990 (commencement of operations) to April 30,
1990. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the fund's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of April 30, 1994, by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust: Fidelity Market Index Fund as of April 30,
1994, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in
its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended
and for the period March 6, 1990 (commencement of operations) to April 30,
1990, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The first few months of 1994 were an unsettling time for many investors.
After three years of a nearly perfect environment for stock market
investing, stock prices fell in March and April. Investors disagree about
whether this decline represents only a short-term correction or signals the
beginning of a longer bear market. One can collect statistics to support
either opinion, but of course, nobody knows for sure what will happen to
stock prices in the months ahead.
We do know, however, that market declines are a normal part of stock market
investing. We have historically seen corrections of 10% or more every two
years. That's why I thought this might be a good time to review three basic
investment principles that have proven helpful to successful stock market
investors in every market cycle.
First, take a long-term approach when investing in stocks and stock funds.
If you can afford to leave your money invested through the market's
inevitable ups and downs, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any
single decline. Over time, stock prices have gone up - and have
significantly outperformed other types of investments and stayed ahead of
inflation.
Second, you can further manage risk by diversifying your investments. A
stock mutual fund is already diversified, because it invests in many
different companies. You can increase your diversification by investing in
a number of different stock funds, or in different investment categories,
such as bonds. You should also keep money you'll need in the near future in
a more stable investment.
Finally, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing
a set amount of money at the same time each month or quarter. That way, you
can avoid getting caught up in the excitement of a rapidly-rising market -
and won't end up buying all your shares at market highs. This strategy
won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, but
it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. For this to be
effective, you must continue to buy shares in both up and down markets.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account
Builder.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each
performance figure includes changes in a fund's share price, plus
reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and capital gains (the profits
the fund earns when it sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1994 PAST 6 LIFE OF
MONTHS FUND
Small Cap Stock -0.65% 6.70%
Small Cap Stock (incl. 3% sales charge) -3.63% 3.50%
Russell 2000 -2.03% 11.05%
Average Small Company Growth -1.87% n/a
Fund
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, since the fund started on June 28, 1993.
You can compare these figures to the performance of the Russell 2000 index
- - - a broad measure of small company stocks. You can also compare them to the
average small company growth fund, which reflects the performance
of 220 small company growth funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services.
Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return
and show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. In the fund's next report we'll report these
numbers for the fund and the benchmarks.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity
Small Cap Stock Fund on June 28, 1993, when the fund began, and paid a 3%
sales charge. As the chart shows, by April 30, 1994, the value of your
investment would have grown to $10,350 - a 3.50% increase on your initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Russell 2000 did over the same
period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have
grown to $11,105 - a 11.05% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In
turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in
stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
A sharp correction in late March
and early April dampened returns
for U.S. stock investors during the
12 months ended April 30, 1994.
Low interest rates, low inflation
and a strengthening economy
fueled strong stock market
performance from May 1993
through January 1994. However,
in an effort to keep the improving
economy from triggering higher
inflation, the Federal Reserve
Board raised short-term interest
rates three times from February
through April. Fear of higher rates
sent the stock market reeling; the
Standard & Poor's 500 stock
index fell more than 4% in March
alone. For the 12 months ended
April 30, the S&P 500 had a
total return of 5.32%, below it's
long-term average annual return
of about 10%. Continued poor
performance from consumer
nondurable stocks - including
those of most consumer
products, retail, tobacco and drug
companies - dragged down the
index. Market leaders included
technology and economically
sensitive stocks (known as
cyclicals) in such sectors as
autos, heavy machinery and
precious metals. Cyclicals led the
Dow Jones Industrial Average -
an index of 30 blue chip stocks -
to a 10.46% return for the year.
The NASDAQ Composite Index
- - - which tracks over-the-counter
stocks - was up 10.95%.
Although many foreign markets
also suffered corrections in 1994,
the Morgan Stanley EAFE
(Europe, Australia, Far East)
index rose 16.64% for the year.
The Morgan Stanley Emerging
Markets index was up 43.02%.
An interview with Brad Lewis,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund
Q. BRAD, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. From the day the fund started, June 28, 1993, through April 30, 1994,
Small Cap Stock had a total return of 6.70%. However, the best available
comparison with its peers covers the period from June 30, 1993, through the
end of April 1994. During that time, the fund also returned 6.70%, compared
to 10.19% for the average small company growth fund tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services. For the past six months, the fund returned -0.65%,
while the average fund returned -1.87%.
Q. ALTHOUGH ITS PERFORMANCE IMPROVED RELATIVE TO ITS PEERS, THE FUND HAS
STILL TRAILED THE AVERAGE SINCE IT STARTED . . .
A. It has. When it was launched, the fund grew very rapidly. However, it
can be tough putting large amounts of cash to work quickly in small stocks
because they can be more difficult to buy and sell. So in the first six
months of the fund, I was forced to carry a larger cash position than I
might have liked, which caused the fund's performance to lag.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND DO WHEN THE MARKET TUMBLED OVER THE PAST THREE MONTHS?
A. The fund took its knocks like everyone else, but came out slightly ahead
of most of its peers. Part of the reason is the fund's use of complex
computer models - its neural network - to choose stocks that appear to have
the best performance potential. The computer analyzes more than 100
variables relative to a stock's performance. Because stock prices follow
earnings, I've made sure the computer weighs a company's latest earnings
estimates quite heavily. My point is that when the market fell, the stocks
of companies with strong earnings growth held up better than those with
disappointing earnings. Of course, it's not always that easy. There are
factors that affect stock performance that the computer can't pick up on.
Q. WHAT ARE THOSE?
A. Investing themes or fads, which can sweep into the market at any time.
For example, last fall the prices of many smaller telecommunications stocks
rose amid the hype surrounding the building of the so-called information
superhighway, which is combining the technologies of computers, telephones
and televisions. The computer can't evaluate these themes that come and go.
So in that short time span, some of its peers that owned these stocks may
have outperformed the fund. But careful analysis of companies' business
prospects should help the fund consistently beat the broader market over
time.
Q. YOU'VE INCREASED THE FUND'S STAKE IN TECHNOLOGY STOCKS FROM 13.0% SIX
MONTHS AGO TO 30.3% ON APRIL 30. WHAT'S THE ATTRACTION?
A. Strong earnings growth. Some of the telecommunications and technology
stocks rode on the back of superhighway hype, but many have rapidly growing
earnings. And as I've mentioned, the computer models focus strongly on
earnings projections. Most of the best performing stocks were tied in some
way to the explosive growth in the personal computer market.
Q. CAN YOU GIVE US SOME EXAMPLES?
A. Atmel - the fund's largest investment on April 30 - makes integrated
circuits and computer memory equipment. The company's revenues rose 80% in
the first quarter of 1994, yet its stock is still relatively cheap.
Novellus Systems makes a very specialized product: the coating that
surrounds large "wafers" out of which computer semiconductors are stamped,
and Marshall Industries is a semiconductor distributor. The fund's computer
model favors these companies because they have solid growth prospects
coupled with attractive valuations.
Q. WERE THERE DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Sure. Sun TV & Appliance fell 62% over the past six months after a
price war with its competitors caused analysts to lower their earnings
expectations for the company. And Pool Energy - an energy service company -
lost more than 35% after oil prices fell.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. In 1993, falling interest rates helped drive the market, but that's
changed in 1994. With the economy gaining strength, company earnings appear
to be increasingly fueling the market. That could bode well for the fund,
as small companies tend to have faster earnings growth than their larger
counterparts. But there's reason for caution. It's still unclear what
effect rising interest rates might have on economic growth and the
profitability of small companies. Since larger stocks generally withstand
economic downturns better than smaller stocks, investors might do well to
keep expectations within reason for the months ahead.

BRAD LEWIS ON BEATING THE
MARKET:
"We often hear about picking
`winning' stocks, but I think
avoiding the losers is every bit
as important. When I'm
buying stocks, I don't stray far
from the recommendations of
my computer program.
Deciding when to sell can be
tougher. Every day the
computer will crank out fresh
revisions of earnings
estimates for each of the
companies within the fund. I
probably spend two-thirds of
my time poring over these
revisions and figuring out
when it's time to sell. The
computer will tell me when
earnings prospects are
worsening, and if I can get out
of the stock before its price
falls, I've avoided a loss. If I
can do that consistently, the
fund should beat the
performance of the overall
market."
DISTRIBUTION
3.7% of the dividends
distributed during the fiscal
year were derived from
interest on U.S. Government
securities generally exempt
from state income tax.
The fund will notify
shareholders in January 1995
of the applicable percentage
for calendar year 1994 for use
in preparing 1994 income tax
returns.

8. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Commonwealth
Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares.
The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange), are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at
their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities maturing within sixty days are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the current exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities,
income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at
the exchange rate on the dates of the transactions.
It is not practicable to identify the portion of each amount shown in the
fund's Statement of Operations under the caption "Realized and Unrealized
Gain (Loss) on Investments" that arises from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. Investment income includes net realized and unrealized
currency gains and losses recognized between accrual and payment dates.
INCOME TAXES. The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. By so qualifying, the fund
will not be subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all
of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax
Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of
foreign taxes where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
foreign currency transactions, partnerships, non-taxable dividends and
losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and
profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of
the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income may include temporary book and tax
basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable
income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following
year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
9. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund may enter into forward foreign
currency contracts. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the
amount reflected in the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
face or contract amount in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the
fund has in that particular currency contract. The U.S. dollar value of
forward foreign currency contracts is determined using forward currency
exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. Losses may arise due to
changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and presented net on the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities. Gain (loss) on the purchase or sale of forward
foreign currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker is
recognized on the date of offset, otherwise gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The fund's investment
adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), is responsible
for determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at
least equal to the resale price.
OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other
registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may
transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are
collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may invest in futures contracts and
write options. These investments involve to varying degrees, elements of
market risk and risks in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts reflect the extent
of the involvement the fund has in the particular classes of instruments.
Risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the
price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities and
interest rates. Risks also may arise if there is an illiquid secondary
market for the instruments, or due to the inability of counterparties to
perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having
management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending
program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the
fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds.
10. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,265,687,740 and $717,879,403, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed amounted to
$248,119,700 and $245,474,525, respectively.
11. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates ranging from
.30% to .52% and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the
mutual funds advised by FMR. The annual individual fund fee rate is .35%.
The basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of +
or - .20%) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. The fund's performance
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
adjustment will not take effect until June 1994. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .68% of average net
assets.
The Board of Trustees approved a new group fee rate schedule with rates
ranging from .2850% to .5200%. Effective November 1, 1993, FMR has
voluntarily agreed to implement this new group fee rate schedule as it
results in the same or a lower management fee.
SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an
affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received sales
charges of $2,299,056 on sales of shares of the fund.
TRANSFER AGENT FEE. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the
fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC
receives fees based on the type, size, number of accounts and the number of
transactions made by shareholders. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and
mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEE. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains
the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $178,800 for the period.
12. INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM.
The fund participated in the interfund lending program as a borrower. The
maximum loan and the average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $31,339,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 3.44%. Interest expense includes $2,996 paid under the
interfund lending program.
13. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, the fund must pledge to the bank securities having a market
value in excess of 220% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on
the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The
maximum loan and the average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $5,176,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 3.88%. Interest expense includes $557 paid under the bank
borrowing program.
14. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by
$104,492 under this arrangement.
